The 1922 WAFL season was the 38th season of the West Australian Football League. It saw East Perth equal East Fremantle’s feat of winning four consecutive premierships, this time against a rejuvenated West Perth team which had a lean period since 1912. Their most notable feat during the season was a record comeback against South Fremantle, but on an August tour of the Eastern States the Royals also defeated SANFL premiers Norwood by the score of 8.20 (68) to 7.10 (52)[1] and runners-up West Adelaide[2] by 11.12 (78) to 7.12 (54), after having lost by a point to St. Kilda two weeks beforehand.[3] A consequence of their trip – hastily planned when Subiaco’s tour there was cancelled during July[4] – was that their last round match with wooden-spooner Perth was never played – a cancellation to be repeated the following season.

1922 also saw a dispute with the City of Perth during late June and early July over charges for use of the WACA and Leederville Oval, which led to proposals to play the season’s WAFL finals at Claremont Showgrounds,[5][6] which had not been used for WAFL matches since 1907. Unlike a similar dispute during 1940 that affected the whole season at Leederville and Perth Oval, however, this dispute only affected a single round of matches, and was resolved before Round 11.[7]

A dispute with the City of Perth over the use of the WACA and Leederville[6] causes two matches to be transferred to Claremont Showgrounds, where Claremont-Cottesloe would play its inaugural season of 1926.

Record crowds see several games in Perth by VFL premiers-to-be Fitzroy, whilst WAFL games are suspended for this and an interstate tour by East Perth.[58] It was the first tour of Western Australia by any VFL club.[59]

WACA Ground
–
The WACA /ˈwækə/ is a sports stadium in Perth, Western Australia. The stadiums name derives from the initials of its owners and operators, the WACA has been Western Australias home of cricket since the early 1890s, with Test cricket played at the ground since the 1970–71 season. The ground is the venue of Western Australias first-class cricket team, the Western Warriors, and a Womens National Cricket League side. The Perth Scorchers, a Big Bash League franchise, also play at the ground, the pitch at the WACA is regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest in the world. These characteristics, in combination with the afternoon sea-breezes which regularly pass the ground, have made the ground an attractive place for pace. The outfield is exceptionally fast, contributing to the ground seeing some very fast scoring – as of February 2016, however, recent years have seen most of these activities relocated to other venues. It has also used for major rock concerts. William Henry Wise, a gardener who came to WA from England in 1880, Wise was personal gardener to Sir George Shenton, of Crawley. In addition to his work at the WACA Ground, he laid the first tennis court on the Perth Esplanade, the Western Australian Cricket Association was officially established on 25 November 1885 under the Presidency of JCH James. In 1893, the WACA ground was opened, occupying a site of old swamp land to the east of the city. The Association has a 999-year lease over the land, the long term of the lease means that, effectively, the Association has freehold title. Originally, the title covered 29 acres, and took in what is now Gloucester Park, however, the latter part of the land was divested to the Trotting Association in the early 1920s. In a curious twist, between 1977 and 1979, World Series Cricket matches were played at Gloucester Park because the Kerry Packer-led organisation was not granted access to the WACA, the first match played on the turf wickets took place in February 1894. However, difficulties encountered in transporting teams to Western Australia meant that the ground was not part of Australias main cricket community for many years, even with the building of a transcontinental railway, the trip from the eastern states still took several days. It took the introduction of scheduled flights to Western Australia to make the WACA readily accessible to interstate or overseas teams. James Gardiner, president of the WACA for three terms between 1897 and 1924, proposed the adoption of electorate cricket whereby teams were established on a basis for competition. He also inaugurated Country Week cricket, during which teams compete against each other. In 1907, the WACA ground was under threat of being controlled by the Perth City Council to recover debts, Gardiner led the bid to save the ground and secured a government loan

Fremantle Oval
–
Fremantle Oval is a stadium in the centre of Fremantle, Western Australia, located on Parry Street. It currently has a capacity of 17,500 with terracing and it is located between the Fremantle Hospital, Fremantle Markets and the Fremantle Prison. The ground was the training and administrative home of the Fremantle Football Club until February 2017, originally known as Barracks Green Field, the area was used by the Pensioner Guards who were used primarily as guards for Fremantle Prison which house convict and ticket of leave prisoners. In 1861 Manning raised a Volunteer defence force, who used the ground for manoeuvers, as Australian Rules Football developed in the late 19th century the ground became the base for the Fremantle Football Club and hosted many early WAFL as well as interstate games. Facilities remained relatively basic until 1897 when the Victoria Pavilion was built, the large stately structure provided seating for 500 people as well as club rooms located in the basement. East Fremantle Football Club vacated the ground in 1950, moving to new premises, in 1954 the oval was used for a ceremonial parade as part of Queen Elizabeth IIs first visit to Fremantle. The Cycling Track and Cricket Pitch were removed in the 1960s due to the demands of WAFL football. Further improvements were made to the ground with the demands of larger WAFL crowds in the 1960s and 1970s. These included a shelter behind the goals at the end of the ground. A three level press box was constructed adjacent to the Victoria Pavilion, the eastern outer area of the ground was also fully terraced with concrete kerbing so as to allow for greater crowd capacity. The late 1970s witnessed a peak in crowd attendance at Fremantle Oval with over 23,000 people attending the Foundation Day Derby in 1979. Large crowds continued to flock to the ground into the early 1980s with the WAFL proving to be the most popular sport in the State. From 1980 to 1985 the oval hosted Motorcross racing during the summer, noise complaints from nearby Fremantle Hospital and the availability of more suitable venues lead to the racing moving. New entrance gates were built on Parry Street, however the South Terrace gates were never replaced, in 1987, the entry of the West Coast Eagles into the expanded VFL competition lead to a dramatic decline in WAFL attendances. In 1995 this was compounded by the entry of the Fremantle Dockers into the AFL, attendances dropped from an average of 8000 in the early 1980s to 3000 in the early 90s and 2000 in 1999. The Fremantle Dockers established a base at the oval and in 1999 constructed a new training facility, the oval continues to host WAFL matches as well as AFL pre season games. It is also used a venue for conferences, rock concerts,23,109, when South Fremantle beat East Fremantle on 4 June 1979.

West Adelaide was formed in 1892, adopting Magenta and White as their colours, the SAFA would subsequently become the SANFL. The club often struggled to field a team in its early years as clubs were then controlled by wealthy businessmen. West Adelaide was one of the clubs and consequently won only one of its first 31 matches.

After the SANFL resumed competition following World War I, West Adelaide would finish second in 1922, captain-Coach Bruce McGregor would not only lead his team to the premiership in 1927 but became the first West Adelaide player to win back to back Magarey Madals. Robert Snell, Jack Sexton and Ray McArthur also won the Magarey Medal while playing for the West Adelaide Football Club, an unexpected 112-point thrashing of North Adelaide in their last game of 1940, however, proved a true omen of what was to come in 1941. The Bloods carried all before them early in the season and after ten games had suffered only a draw, a slump ensued before the club required to finish third and beat Port Adelaide in the first semi before Sturt knocked the inexperienced Bloods out in the preliminary. Between 1942 and 1945 West Adelaide joined forced with Glenelg in a competition, finishing second, third. West Adelaide became one of the teams in the SANFL following the resumption of full-scale competition in 1945. The club finished third in 1946 before winning its sixth premiership in 1947 defeating Norwood 10.15 to 8.15.
